Nicki Minaj's concert in Manchester was cancelled due to her arrest in Amsterdam for suspected drug possession.
Minaj denied the accusations, attributing the drugs to her security team, but was fined by Dutch authorities for 'soft drug' exportation.
The cancellation disappointed fans waiting at the Co-op Live arena, which has had previous technical issues and delays.
Minaj apologized on social media, assured fans of a rescheduled date, and promised perks for ticket holders.
Her tour is set to continue in Birmingham, London, Glasgow, and another show in Manchester.
Minaj's representatives have not provided further comments on the situation.
